[size=13pt]Man Kills Own Mum - After Accusing Her Of Being A Witch[/size]

A divorced father of three stabbed his mother 21 times after becoming convinced that she was a witch and had put a curse on him, a court in Britain heard on Friday.

Kayode Kuye reportedly tortured and killed Christina Kuye, 69, because he believed she had ruined his life with a black magic spell, the Old Bailey was told.

Unemployed Kuye, 50, of Edmonton, north London, pleaded guilty to manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility.

The judge, Christopher Moss, ordered him locked up indefinitely under mental health laws and described it as a “brutal” killing.

Kuye reportedly attacked his mother after letting himself into her home in Finchley, north London, with a key in May last year, the court heard.

After a lengthy argument, he stabbed her 21 times to the upper body, also slashing her arms and hands as she tried to defend herself.

He was later arrested covered in blood at Finchley Central station, laughing as he said: “I have had an argument with my mother.”

Policemen forced their way into her home where they found her body in her bedroom.

Kuye later told psychiatrists that his purpose was “to torture his mother to try to prevent her from continuing what he perceived to be black magic upon him,” said Alan Kent, prosecuting officer.

Mr. Kent said: “The motivation behind his attack was his paranoid and deluded belief that his mother had cursed him through witchcraft and had ruined his life.”

Mrs. Kuye came to Britain from Nigeria in 1961 with her husband, who died in 1984. She had eight children, including the defendant, and 20 grandchildren.

She herself believed in witchcraft and her son became increasingly interested in the subject during the four years before he killed her.

His mother helped him get in touch with a witch doctor she knew in Nigeria and he would send him money “for advice and medicine,” the court heard.

Two years before the killing, he began to blame her for all his problems, saying she had “sacrificed him as a child and had put a curse on him.”

He believed that “he was a king and should be rich, but the curse prevented this from happening.”

For about a year before his mother’s death, he had been saying he was going to kill her, as well as other family members.

On the day of the stabbing, he had been “ranting and raving” at his former wife and told her that “he had to go and do what he had to do,” the court heard.

RIP

Typical black man's stupidity.Our superstitious beliefs have always been our archilles heel.It always ends like this.You get scammed for your money and if you are doing badly in life, they tell you its the closest person to you that's tying you down.A 50 year old frustrated man?Hmmm. . .doesn't look good.

It's becoz of weakness like these the slave buyers/traders were able to oppress us.We are too niave and dumb and yet we believe we are the smartest. Everybody is scared to prosecute a big man becoz him get jazz e.g Obasanjo and IBB. . .lol

Arrant rubbish!

In between, what is with UK people and stabbing?I intend to be there sometime soon.I might need to get a gun.How are the gun laws over there?Any pointers?

So stupid

we're backwards

Even in west,these people are deluded,hence the booming churches just like nigeria.You still find jesus stickers on cars,they still think jesus made it possible for them to buy it.Very very mind blowing,eyes wide open that can't see.

I know of so many people that have inhumanely treated their parents,even to killing them,especially mothers because they think were bewitching them.

When i was growing up my father was about the only person i knew that use to befriend those they proclaimed witches in the community,i use to wonder why he never fears them,now i can see they were totally harmless.

Human beings are the worst hypocrites ever.Do you know that people fear voodoo (jazz) more than God himself?I'll give you an example.

If i put N50,000 in a calabash,place it on the road and tell people not to touch unless they want to see the wrath of God. . . i tell you, that money will be picked right in front of me.

BUT. . .if i put that same money,with feathers,blood of animals,cowrie shells,candles of different colors and so on. . .that money might be there for at least 48 -72 hours before one mad person dares bold to pick it.

This is how hypocritical our people are.You seem them in church every sunday jumping up and down and claiming that Jesus is their only lord and savior but put a little voodoo near them and you'll be surprised to see how visibly upset and shaken they would be.Our people steal,kill and destroy whilst calling the name of the lord.A good example is Obasanjo who was "born again" when he got into power.He retired by leaving us a "living-dead" president who is in coma in Saudi.Oh yes. . .this is religion for you.

Rubbish! ! !
